I see. I apologise for my rudeness, a sword made for battle deserves to be treated as one.

[ It appears Kojirou doesn't have the highest opinion of shrine swords. They're beautiful sure, but a blade is made for battle. Using one like a mere talisman or art piece seems rude to him.

Kojirou parries Jirou's attack, wooden sword flashing out from his casual non-stance. He doesn't bother with one, never have. There's no point using a sword this long if he can't cover every angle from any other angle. ]

I suppose we aren't actually trying to kill each other, but how about the drive to win, to prove oneself?
